Sometimes such flares ☀️ are accompanied by outbursts of high-energy radiation ☢️ particles, which can travel near the speed of light and would easily penetrate space vehicle shielding 🛡️. High energy #radiation particles can be a cause of malfunctions in computers and electronics, and they also pose #health risks for #astronauts 🧑🚀 https://www.surrey.ac.uk/news/solar-flare-prompts-close-monitoring-space-weather-ahead-artemis-ii-launch
